Dr Venkman

haha, i'm not gonna pm everyone. suffice to say that if i'd got any really interesting info i would have posted it last night.

I think he'll sign, actually. Pretty confident about it too. i hope you're right mate, i wonder if he's holding on for a five year deal or something like that

Any news on that medical last night? pm's

sweeeeeet

if its bollocks its a creative excuse, i'll give him that. actually i might start booking tables in other cities and using the same excuse for cancelling them myself, saying i work for different clubs

his girlfriend's working in there tonight so we've asked her to try get any info out of them she can, while remaining professional, ha. for the record it was an e mail of booking confirmation and it wasnt 'i am the club doctor' it was 'my friend is the club doctor and has to travel somewhere to conduct the medical therefore wont be in attendance'. i'm off to the pub with him now, if we find out anything i'll post from my phone.

but, stoke? eh?

i'm completely bemused by all of this, until collocini signs he's our best centre half ffs

no disrespect like, and I do not think you are bullshitting.... but any chance your mate can find out who said player is? or is it top secret stuff? nah there'd be no way, basically the reason he got the info is because he co runs a restauraunt and a booking for tonight went from 3 to 2, and the reason that was given is because one of the people that was supposed to be coming is the nufc club doctor and he's conducting the medical. we both agreed it seemed odd that the person would even give a reason, but there you go, just passing on info.

i'm not sure if this info's already been posted but i'll put it up here anyway, as my friend's registered here but i'm not sure if he ever posts, if he's reading, hi stu. he has it on good authority that one of our club doctors is over seeing a medical examination tonight, i'm not normally itk, he just came across this information by chance but it seemed credible, make of it what you will.

i've been out for a bit, the only update is the club shop are selling his shirts with number 2 on?

they cant seriously be offering 9 million? haway.

by 'do such a thing' do you mean play him in midfield? By do such a thing I mean buy a class defender (which we need to begin with) to play in midfield yes. i see, but if it worked, and the team were better for it, would that be so bad? thats all i'm asking.

by 'do such a thing' do you mean play him in midfield?

time will tell, i imagine a lot of people would have had the same reaction if you'd told them keegan would play owen behind the front two, whatever works is good for me.

Yup. In fact although I'm pissed off the Jonas and Coloccini situations look like they'll be unresolved, Owen, Martins and Viduka will be missing and we'll be going into the game with a generally crap side, our season starts against Bolton. We were always going to lose at Old Trafford, so I'm not going to lose too much sleep over it. dave, genuine question here given our 'stances' during the summer; what do you think of the clubs "performance" with colo & guti? what i'm getting at is that i can't think of another club, perhaps granted there aren't that many of them as you don't tire of pointing out, who have transfers dragging on like we do in fact the villa transfer of shorey/young is a right slap in the face for the "transfers don't happen overnight crowd" - so what's going wrong with us then? I've said before I think the Jonas thing is a bit of a joke and that we should have seen some definitive action taken/answers given by now. However, I'm not going to beat up on the club about it because I just don't know the details. This is even more the case with Coloccini. There's a bit of a difference between signing players from different countries/leagues too btw. you just can't do it can you? take the step to say maybe somethings not perfect in mikes magical wonderland if neither of those two play sunday there's no other conclusion than they've made a total cunt of both deals if they do both play then what's with not confirming the deals? Complete bullshit of NE5 proportions. End of conversation. why bring me into it ? Still continuing your stupid agenda with people that disagree with you ? Compared to me, you're just a bairn Dave. haha, oh the irony cant we all just get along? http://www.nufc.premiumtv.co.uk/javaImages/91/2b/0,,10278~3746705,00.gif

i did my level 1 badge three weeks ago, went for the intensive week long course at northumberland fa in benton, right next to the nufc training ground actually. I really enjoyed it, the guy teaching was great at his job, very friendly and had a lot of experience for someone so young i thought. its fairly simple stuff but just gets you in the mindset of how to deal with youngsters. i'd recommend it to anyone that fancies it really. I'm starting some coaching for north shields fc in september, i used to play for them when i was younger so i've come full circle really, good stuff.

word

He's staying at the Hilton man. the hilton? are you serious? have you ever stayed in one? its just a glorified travelodge I'm deadly serious. then i'm not surprised the deal's stalling

why cant we play jonas? coz nufc.com say so?

to be honest i never saw the point in 'unveiling' him at the training day, little kids aren't gonna know who he is, he isnt a big name or a striker, they wouldnt care.

He's staying at the Hilton man. the hilton? are you serious? have you ever stayed in one? its just a glorified travelodge

this would be nice, fingers crossed.

i was there, was pretty interesting. Jonas looked very good, as did Guthrie. Smith couldnt get anything on target, slid around on his arse as usual, Milners crossing was awful, and i thought Given and Harper looked very sharp.

But is he also our best player that likes to have strawberry cheesecake with his coffee? I personally think that Bassong is our best player between all of our other players that are called Bassong. very productive i think he's got a pointy knob actually you what? even though he made his point with humour (matter of opinion i know), what the hell has enrique being our second best player under the age of 24 got to do with it? nufc needs to improve and compete now, not in two seasons, now. and if warnock's available at the right price, and kk thinks he'll improve our defence (i do) then he should be bought and played. read what i quoted haha, its far too early for me to be noticing clever edits
